Soul Catcher Golden Crow
The Mountain River Fortress was the rear of the Human Race in Guanshan Province, so it was heavily guarded.
When the five hundred or so people entered the fortress, they were stopped by a dozen or so armored guards.
The leader of the armored guards pointed at the crowd and said coldly: "All of you, follow me!"
Under the lead of this armored guard, the five hundred or so people were arranged in a spacious drill ground.
"All of you wait here. You are not allowed to cross the red line. Anyone who does will be killed without question!" the armored guard said sternly.
These five hundred or so people had gone through life and death situations to reach the Mountain River Fortress. They didn't expect to be treated like this, so they were somewhat indignant.
"Why?"
"We are working for the Human Race! Are you treating us like prisoners? "
"This is an insult!"
"You want to stop us with just a red line?"
The crowd said indignantly.
Luo Zheng stood in the group and looked at the red line with a strange expression.
It was indeed too much to treat his colleagues like this.
However, the armed guard did not pay any attention to him. He crossed the red line and left.
This action caused the five hundred plus people to become even more restless. Two of them even ignored the guard's words and strode out of the red line with large strides.
Just as these two people crossed the red line, a towering sword erected in the distance suddenly emitted a faint luster, and an invisible force came straight toward them.
This force was so oppressive that it almost suffocated everyone.
Luo Zheng's expression changed, and he retreated like a conditioned reflex. But he remembered the armored guard's warning and only approached the edge of the red line, not leaving it.
"Pu!"
"Pu!"
The two people who had stepped out of the red line were directly killed by an invisible sword ray. Their entire bodies were cut into several pieces.
What was even stranger was that although these two people were killed, not a single drop of blood flowed out!
While everyone was still in a state of shock, a pair of wings extended out from the two men's heads. A three-legged black bird the size of a fist drilled out from the corpses of the two men. It flapped its wings as if it wanted to fly away.
"Pu pu!"
Without any suspense, the invisible force descended once again, and the two little black birds were also chopped into pieces.
"What's going on?!"
"When did these birds get into their heads?!"
"Don't tell me I'm like this too!"
When everyone saw this scene, they were instantly terrified. They were afraid that this kind of bird would drill into their heads as well. Each and every one of them was extremely nervous.
Luo Zheng glanced at Su Kuan subconsciously. Su Kuan smiled at Luo Zheng and said in a relaxed manner, "I'm fine …"
"Yes, those black birds must have drilled in when they covered the ground. It seems that there are quite a lot of them," Luo Zheng said with a nod.
He had a strange feeling just now.
The rules of the Mountain River Fortress were strict, and routine inspections were common. However, there were quite a few people in the crowd who were clamoring, encouraging everyone to walk out of the red line. This was a typical case of seeking one's own death.
However, most of them were still rational. No one dared to cross the red line and become cannon fodder.
Thus, these birds that had burrowed into the brain could only use two people to test the waters first. Naturally, the outcome was what everyone had seen.
The armed guard who had just left turned back. When he saw the broken corpses outside the red line, he sneered and said loudly, "These damn birds have done this more than once or twice. For the sake of safety, I can only inconvenience you brothers!"
After saying that, the armed guard bent down and took out a few divine crystals. He slapped the divine crystals into a jade plate. Within the red line's range, strange patterns appeared on the ground.
Some people in the crowd were a little uneasy. They looked around in panic.
More than a dozen people jumped up and tried to fly away. These people's fates were the same as before. As soon as they escaped the range of the red line, they were killed by the invisible sword aura of the towering sword.
Their bodies were cut into pieces, but there was no blood dripping. These people were also parasitized by the strange birds.
The other dozens of people inside the red line were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They ran here and there, and their mouths made strange "ga ga" sounds.
Now, even an idiot would know that these people were abnormal. However, in order to avoid suspicion, Luo Zheng and the others did not kill them.
As the red light in the Drill Ground became brighter and brighter, those people suddenly screamed strangely and fell to the ground, motionless …
At this time, the armed guard showed a kind smile and said to Luo Zheng and the others, "Thank you for your hard work. This time, the Jinwu ambushed us from behind. It was really unexpected. We lost so many brothers. It was our negligence!"
As he said that, he showed a sorrowful expression and bowed deeply to the crowd.
"When did these strange birds burrow into their brains? Why didn't they notice it at all?" someone asked.
The armed guard grabbed one of the bird corpses and said, "There are about 50 branches in the Jinwu. Each of them has different talents. The first group that attacked you can explode is called the Exploding Golden Crow, and this one is called the Soul-taming Golden Crow … This little thing has brought us a lot of trouble!"
The Soul-taming Golden Crow could be a parasite without anyone noticing. Not only could it seize all the memories of the other party, but it could also devour the other party's soul and blood.
13 years ago, a Soul-taming Golden Crow lurked in the body of a five-star Tai Yiwei and deliberately issued a wrong command. It directly killed more than 300 Tai Yiwei and indirectly caused an immeasurable loss.
Since then, the Tai Yiwei had been highly vigilant against the Soul-taming Golden Crow. People like Luo Zheng who entered the Mountain River Fortress had to be routinely checked.
"You can report over there." The armed guard pointed to the rear.
Under the guidance of the armed guard, Luo Zheng and the others moved to another part of the fortress. After a round of registration, the people in the fortress checked the information in their tokens one by one.
"You are from Dragon City?" The young man in charge of registration looked at Luo Zheng curiously.
Luo Zheng nodded. "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Nothing." The young man smiled and said, "You can wait over there. You are only assisting in the mission of Jade Cloud City. When the time comes, there will be Tai Yiwei going with you. They will take you away."
The defense of Jade Cloud City mainly relied on Tai Yiwei. Missions that involved Tai Yiwei directly were very difficult. Seeing that Luo Zheng had just entered the Nirvana Realm, the young man naturally felt strange.
Guan Shan Prefecture was not Dragon City. Although the competition in Dragon City was cruel, it was like playing house compared to Guan Shan Prefecture. The bloodshed here was not something that Dragon City could compare to. He could even imagine the scene where Luo Zheng and Su Kuan were scared witless.
Other than Luo Zheng and Su Kuan, there were seven or eight other people waiting at the side.
The mission issued by Tai Yiwei was not only for Dragon City, but also for all the forces under the Heavenly Palace. Those seven or eight people had obviously accepted the same mission as Luo Zheng.
After waiting for about an hour, a young man in military uniform walked in quickly.
The young man in military uniform had a token hanging on his waist with the word "Tai Yiwei" written on it. He was a Tai Yiwei.
